Now that Dane County Sheriff Kalvin Barrett has proclaimed that jail inmates will be called “residents” from here on out, so as not to stigmatize and dehumanize them, we have a few humble renaming suggestions for him to consider.
After all, why stop there? As Rep. Sheila Stubbs said, it’s “critical that we recognize people as decent people and as citizens.” Even people accused of heinous things like battery and sexual assault, apparently. And even those who aren’t, you know, actually citizens.

Suggestions for the sheriff. Maybe he could call inmates campers. You can't make this stuff up.

Nice. Maybe they could have blogs comparing the amenities of the jails they have “visited”.

I think I’ll keep using “prisoner”.
And for liberals, I’ll keep using “dumb*ss”.

What’s particularly stigmatizing about “inmate”? And if there is something stigmatizing, won’t any of the other terms acquire the same stigma?

Will they come for her with torches and pitchforks like they did after the media misquoted Trump saying “good people”?
